Shepherd's Advancement Ritual

"Did it succeed?"

Looking at the Rian, Cecilia asked softly.

"Yes, it should have been successful."

Luther observed carefully but found nothing unusual about the Potion. Although he felt uneasy, he chose to trust his Spiritual Intuition.

"Then I'll drink it."

Cecilia said, taking a cup from the side and dipping it into the pot to collect the Potion. The Potion, interconnected, all entered the cup, leaving not a single drop at the bottom of the pot. She glanced at the liquid in the cup and, without hesitation, prepared to put it in her mouth.

"Wait a minute, Cecilia, don't rush."

Luther quickly stopped him.

Only after his sister's gaze fell upon him did he hesitate before saying, "I don't understand the Pathway of the Assassin. But at the top of the Sequence is an evil god that might influence you, and to Acting, your hands will be stained with blood..."

Cecilia looked somewhat helpless upon hearing his words: "Brother, the Potion is already prepared, and things have come to this point, why are you starting to regret it now?"

"What I'm trying to say is that this Pathway isn't the best fit for you. Perhaps we should wait a bit longer; maybe I can find a better Sequence Potion for you..."

"Elder brother."

Cecilia interrupted Luther, "I know you have a point. But, as you said, how much effort would it take to investigate the right Sequence for me, obtain the formula, and gather all the materials?"

Luther couldn't answer, because, as Cecilia said, finding a reliable Potion recipe and acquiring the ingredients was indeed very difficult. Especially since Luther also had to go to work and couldn't leave Tingen.

Even if you join the Nighthawks, someone like Cecilia can only start as a clerical worker. She has to accumulate merits for at least two or three years before she can apply to become an Extraordinary.

However, there was one thing Cecilia didn't say explicitly, but Luther knew perfectly well: the biggest problem was that they didn't have enough time.

Ms. M's existence is a ticking time bomb; you never know when she'll suddenly explode. The sooner Cecilia drinks the Potion and masters her Beyonder Ability, the more she can help Luther later.

For the Rondal siblings, survival was the most important thing. Other problems could only be considered if they survived.

"I see."

Luther sighed, giving up on trying to dissuade him. "After drinking the Potion, your body will undergo strange changes. Don't panic, stay calm."

He told his sister the precautions before letting Cecilia pick up the cup and drink the blue Potion in one gulp.

"Um."

After drinking the Potion, Cecilia let out a soft gasp, hugged her arms, and her figure dimmed, as if she were about to disappear into the shadows of the room.

"Relax, feel the changes in your body, and then try to guide your Consciousness back to your body..."

Luther reminded him from the side.

Not long after, Cecilia emerged from the shadows and slowly opened her eyes. Her azure eyes became sharp and bright, and her steps were Feather Fall, with a touch of feline elegance.

"What a strange feeling, I feel lighter."

Curious, she opened her palm, turning it over and over to examine it. Then she took a few steps back and disappeared into a corner of the room. She didn't vanish; she simply hid in the shadows, making her very inconspicuous. Unless someone specifically looked for her, she would easily be overlooked.

The guy who tried to assassinate me seemed to be hiding in the shadows...

Luther recalled the attack by the Assassin.

Whether leading Cecilia down this Pathway is a good thing or a bad thing is hard to say...

Just then, he saw his sister's figure suddenly flash by, and in the blink of an eye, she had rushed in front of him.

"Wow!"

Cecilia shouted, spreading her arms out like claws, seemingly trying to scare Luther, but her posture was quite cute.

"How's it going, Luther? Am I fast or not?"

Her big eyes were filled with laughter.

Luther knew that his sister was trying to cheer him up and make him feel better.

"Stop fooling around. You've just become an Extraordinary One, your Spirituality is unstable," he said with a wry smile. "Come sit down first, I'll teach you meditation."

Okay~

Cecilia learned quickly and soon mastered the method of meditation.

How are you feeling now?

Luther asked.

"Hmm, it seems okay."

Cecilia picked up a fork from the table and thrust it forward, the fork whistling as it sliced through the air. "You've got the speed, but it seems like you're not quite getting enough power."

"That's already quite good."

Luther's hair was blown by the wind she created. "The most important thing in assassination is precision; just strike the weak point."

"Okay, I'll go buy the individual structure diagram tomorrow and take a look."

Cecilia said.

"Um."

Luther nodded, secretly pondering to himself. He wondered what the key to Acting an "Assassin" was; did it really mean assassinating others? He really didn't want Cecilia's hands to be stained with blood...

However, the younger sister is truly daring. When she faced Sirius and Ms. M, she didn't hesitate to stab them with her knife, showing a level of courage far exceeding that of the average girl.

Because he had previously sworn an oath before the Goddess, Luther could not share the "Acting Method" with his sister. However, at this moment, besides the siblings, there was another outsider present at No. 6 Daffodil Street.

Luther turned his gaze to Ms. M, who was sitting on the sofa and had not said a word.

Congratulations!

Seeing Luther looking over, she smiled and said.

Luther gave her a wary look.

Ms. M had already shared some basic knowledge about the Extraordinary World with Cecilia. If we add the three laws of Beyonder Characteristic discussed yesterday, to be honest, Cecilia now knows more about Potion than many official Extraordinary users.

"Now that your sister has become an Extraordinary, I have a favor I'd like her to do for me."

Ms. M said.

What are you going to do?

Luther frowned, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, she deliberately pushed her sister to become an extraordinary one."

"Don't be nervous, it's all just minor, harmless stuff."

Ms. M said casually.

"Can we refuse?"

"Of course not."

She raised her index finger and shook it, saying, "However, as payment, it's the same as before: in the Extraordinary Realm, I can try to answer any questions you have."

Ha, so you make Cecilia work for you, then slowly influence her, make her one of you, and make her believe in that bullshit True Creator, is that it?

Luther sneered inwardly, but his face showed no resentment.

He thought for a moment, then asked provocatively, "Any question is fine?"

"Of course, but it would be best if it were something I knew."

"Don't worry, you definitely know the answer to this question," Luther said, looking directly into Ms. M's golden eyes. "I want to know the Shepherd's Potion recipe."

You're the Shepherd, you must know the recipe, right? You said it yourself, anyone who knows it will answer!

He didn't really want to know the answer; he just wanted to annoy the other person.

Unexpectedly, Ms. M thought for a moment and then asked him in return, "Do you want to know about the Potion, or the Ritual?"

Luther was taken aback.
